Staged arrivals
A single rural lane off the A31 means arrivals are better spread than bunched at the gate.
Home/Services/Wedding venues/Northbrook Park
Farnham & surrounding venues
Our wedding taxis work Northbrook Park right through the summer season. It is a Grade II listed Georgian manor of around 1810 set in 120 acres, built for Admiral Sir John Acworth Ommanney and later home to the founder of Schroders in England. The Orangery takes 250 against about 80 beds in the Mews cottages, so we stage arrivals along the single rural lane off the A31 rather than bunching them at the gate.

This venue
Northbrook Park is popular for larger guest lists, so arrivals are staged to avoid queuing at the gate.
A single rural lane off the A31 means arrivals are better spread than bunched at the gate.
Well over half the guest list travels out at the end of the night.
Farnham is the natural base, and Bentley station is too sparse to rely on.

Northbrook Park is a Grade II listed Georgian manor of around 1810, built for Admiral Sir John Acworth Ommanney and later home to the founder of Schroders in England. It now works purely as an exclusive-use venue set in 120 acres, reached off the A31 by a rural lane. Despite the Farnham postal address the estate itself is just over the county line in Hampshire.
The estate is reached from the A31 Farnham to Alton dual carriageway, turning onto Crondall Road. The pinch points are that junction and the lane after it rather than the estate itself, which is wide open once you are through. Note that some listings give a Glebe House address in Bentley, which is correspondence rather than the entrance you want.
The Mews cottages sleep about 80, and the Orangery seats up to 250, so a full wedding leaves well over half the guests needing a lift. Farnham is the natural base at eight minutes away. Bentley station is nearer still but the service is sparse enough that it rarely helps. Larger guest lists are worth staging so nobody queues at the gate.
The cars
Luggage is where most airport bookings go wrong. These are the real limits, not the optimistic ones.
The standard car for one to four people. Two checked-in bags in the boot plus two items of hand luggage.
Six seats with room for two large suitcases in the back plus four items of hand luggage.
Seven seats filled, with five large suitcases in the boot plus six items of hand luggage.
Questions
What couples and planners usually ask.
Off the A31 Farnham to Alton dual carriageway onto Crondall Road. The junction and the lane after it are the slow parts; the estate itself is wide open once you are through.
Some listings give a Glebe House address in Bentley, which is correspondence rather than the entrance. Use the GU10 5EU postcode for the venue itself.
More than half on a full wedding. The Mews cottages sleep around 80 and the Orangery seats up to 250, so the shortfall is significant and it is best planned rather than discovered.
Rarely. It is nearer than Farnham but the service is sparse enough that it seldom helps. Farnham, about eight minutes away, is the practical base for hotels and for the station.
